I applied online and the process took 1 week - interviewed at Epsilon in March 2014.
Interview Details I applied the job through Linkedin. A recruiter contacted me after one week. He asked me typical HR questions, like why looking for new job, skills, expectation of the position, current salary. Since my current salary is much higher than the salary they offered, he suggested me decline this job. Also, one online SAS test needs to be done before moving forward.
Interview Question – How comfortable with SAS programming? Answer Question

Average Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at Epsilon in April 2013.
Interview Details I applied via my school's career portal and shortly after received an e-mail with an invitation for a phone interview. The total interview process was 4 rounds: 2 phone interviews with recruiters, 1 onsite interview with 4 current Account Executives and Account Managers, and 1 phone with the VP of the client services department. The process was very straight forward and pretty quick. The recruitment team is easily available and very resourceful.
Interview Question – There were a lot of behavioral questions and some technical ones but not super technical. I was prepared for more technical questions but I prepared for a more technical role. Every person during the onsite interview did ask how technical I currently was, and to what level. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – No negotiation. The offer is set and either you take it or you don't.

Average Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Epsilon in November 2013.
Interview Details The process started with an on campus interview with one mid-level manager, this was very straight forward, typical behavioral stuff. I was then contacted by a recruiter who scheduled me to come in to their Wakefield office for four 20 minute interviews. My interviews occurred simultaneously with the interviews for three other candidates. We first met with two current BSAs who went over their experiences and the different types of BSA roles at Epsilon. myself and the other interviewees were then split into four different rooms. The interviewers went from room to room, spending 20 minutes with each of us. The interviewers ranged from senior managers to a VP. The questions were still mostly behavioral, but there was a bit of technical question, such as my experience with developing and SQL. The were mostly interested in my experience with teams, how I tackle a problem etc.
After the interview i heard back from the recruiter a couple of weeks later with an offer.
Interview Question – What type of BSA better suites your interests? Don't worry they explain the differences before hand. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – I had another offer for a little bit more money in a different field that i found more interesting.

Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Epsilon.
Interview Details The hiring process was fairly simple for the most part. A phone screen was initially scheduled with HR to cover off of the basics...job role, experience, salary requirements. Then two face to face interviews were scheduled with the hiring manager and client team manager. The whole interview took under an hour. Both interviewers were definitely more interested in making a personal connection/seeing if I was a "right fit" vs. a behavioral interview. Questions were very simple and straightforward, and applicable to my past experience and relatable to the position being offered.
Interview Question – Give an example of a difficult project you managed and explain 1) why it was difficult and 2) how you handled the situation and what was the result? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I was only able to negotiate a couple additional thousands dollars. I was informed that I was at the max of the salary range. In retrospect, I wish I had negotiated more as I was given a promotion with no salary increase.

Obey The Brave - 02.12.13
Interviewed by:
Jake Denning
Despised Icon was one of Montreal's marquee deathcore acts, and had a firm grip on the scene for nearly an entire decade until the band's split in December 2010. After everyone went their own separate ways to do things like spend time with family, etc., vocalist Alex Erian wasn't content, he wanted to get back out on the road - thus, Obey The Brave was born. Even though Erian is the band's lone lead vocalist, don't make the mistake of thinking the intensity level has dropped; the band's first full-length record Young Blood is a hard hitting album from front to back, leaving no room to breathe.
I spoke with Alex Erian inside the Hawthorne Theater in Portland, OR, and talked about their time supporting Whitechapel and Emmure, the band's debut - Young Blood, and more. You can follow Alex on
, as well as Obey The Brave on
, and
. You can watch the band's music video for "Get Real" (feat. Scott Vogel of Terror)
[Photo Credit: Jeremy Saffer]
So you've been supporting Whitechapel and Emmure on this tour, how's it been going for Obey The Brave?
Alex Erian: Dude, so far so good, we're alternating with The Plot In You. Some nights you're first up, some nights you're up second. We do see a big difference, it sucks being that opening band but good reactions regardless. We were on the All-Stars Tour last summer, and compared to that we're getting a better response, better merch sales, etc. Everyone who is reading this and supporting us, thank you, because it's making a big difference and it's helping us stay on the road. I'm just having a great time, I feel fortunate to be back on the road in the U.S. and doing what I love; I've been doing this for my entire adult life and granted I was on a hiatus for two years between bands. I'm very happy to be out on tour with friends, I've done a few tours with
, and
, I've done anywhere from 2-4 tours with those bands, it's like a reunion time!
Is there an "ideal" tour for Obey The Brave? Would you rather be out with Terror or Hatebreed?
Alex Erian: I just heard the new
track, pretty good! I toured with Hatebreed and
Black Dahlia Murder
back in 2006, and I haven't toured with Hatebreed since; I would be honored to do so again, I feel like Obey The Brave would be a right fit for an opening slot on an upcoming tour. I've been supporting them since
Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire,
and I have a lot of respect for them. As far as an ideal tour, we're all over the place, we listen to all types of shit, whether it's myself or the rest of the band. I'd love to do something that's not so narrow musically, maybe open for a punk rock band like
You know, that's funny that you say that, because Stick To Your Guns is doing that type of tour real soon, supporting Pennywise and Lagwagon.
Alex Erian: They are, and they are fucking lucky! We're doing a festival in Belgium called
, there's lots of punk rock bands on there, I think
Bad Religion
Rise Against
are headlining this year, so it's definitely an honor to be on that. You know, I'd tour with Jay-Z if I had an offer, haha.
You know I've always wondered what
is like compared to Groezrock.
Alex Erian: It's in the United Kingdom. I've done that once, but it's much smaller. This guy Toyan St Hilaire who books it every year, and he's done it at least 5 years, and it features some of the U.K.'s finest. But yeah, Groezrock is humongous, the biggest festival in Belgium alongside
, I'd say there's close to 10,000 people in attendance.
Who would you say are the some of the bigger hardcore bands in the U.K. right now? I know there's TRC, etc.
Alex Erian: Yeah, I'm not really sure since I don't live there, but I just saw the new
Your Demise
video and seemed good. I also saw the new
Bring Me The Horizon
video, and they've really stepped up their game, although they're not hardcore - the video was pretty good, I'm curious to see what else is on that record. As far as hardcore in the U.K., there's
Brutality Will Prevail
, if you're into traditional hardcore mixed with doomier parts, then they're definitely worth checking out.
Do you consider Obey The Brave to be a melodic hardcore band or would you classify it as something else? I remember Scott Vogel of Terror claiming that a band like The Ghost Inside isn't a real hardcore band...
Alex Erian: I dunno man, hardcore is so cool nowadays, it's the new deathcore. All these kids pop out of nowhere, and they're like "Oh man, I fucking love Biohazard and Madball", and six months ago they had absolutely no clue who those bands were. I started listening to that stuff in the late 90's/early 00's, I'm old as fuck - I'm 32. I bought
Set It Off
) when it came out, I bought
State Of The World Address
) when it came out, but who cares, I love hardcore, I love metalcore. As far as Obey The Brave is concerned, we are a melodic metalcore band; we love metal and hardcore and we mix it up. To each their own, I see a lot of elitists out there who want to be nazi's about music; I'm all about diversity, I'm all about the whole "live and let live" mentality - whether you love pop, or if you love
, that's good too. There's no wrong or right way to listen to music as far as I'm concerned.
Young Blood
came out on Epitaph Records about 3-4 months ago. Was Epitaph the only label that was interested in what you were doing after Despised Icon broke up?
Alex Erian: To be honest, there was half a dozen labels out there that were animate about signing us, it was definitely flattering. At the end of the day, we decided to go with Epitaph. I remember being in high-school listening to albums like
Punk In Drublic
(NOFX), and
Unknown Road
(Pennywise), and
Let's Go
(Rancid), those are some of the names that I grew up with during my adolescent years. And to be on a label amongst those bands or more recent bands like Parkway Drive or The Ghost Inside or even Bring Me The Horizon, it's unbelievable, and it's something that I don't take for granted. Being on this label pushes me and pushes the band harder to work and get our name out there as much as possible, we're just grinding this shit everyday.
How long did you spend writing this album? It's pretty straightforward for the most part.
Alex Erian: It took us a good six months to write this record. We spent the second half of 2011 talking and exchanging lyrical topics, writing riffs, and it slowly took shape; there were no deadlines, no label pressures, no demands to put out a particular single or be on a certain tour, none of that. We just took our time, and when it was ready, it was ready. But by the end of of 2011, we thought to ourselves "Hey, we have more or less the equivalent of a record in our hands, we're jamming and having a great time, let's give this a shot". And after we announced our band a little over a year ago, we've been working hard at it, playing every show we could get our hands on - small shows, big shows, every weekend, until the spring when we finally started touring, and we've been doing that ever since.
What was the most significant struggle when making this album?
Alex Erian: My struggle was just getting back into the game. Here I was in Despised Icon, creating music and touring with that band for 10 years, getting all these great touring opportunities and making somewhat of a decent living out of it, and suddenly most of the guys wanted to move on and step away from the game, and I wasn't ready to turn the page. But I didn't want to keep the band alive for selfish reasons. As far as I'm concerned, keeping that band alive with a bunch of new members wasn't the right thing to do; once you do that, you become a pale copy of yourself, a cover band. No disrespect to the bands out there, but that's what a lot of the bands are doing, and that's not the path that I wanted to go down, so I decided to call it a day. Everyone in Despised Icon was jumping on a new train, trying something else - trying out the family life, trying out new career opportunities, and I kind of felt pressured at my age nearing 30 to do what the rest of my boys were doing, and so I did; I got an awesome marketing job for a clothing retailer, was working the office job 9 to 5, a steady paycheck and great team, but I wasn't happy because I felt like I was stepping on my own toes with something that I wasn't ready to do. And it really came down to me questioning what I had to do to become happy in life, and the answer was simple - play music. So I quit everything and put everything on the line - stability, security, etc. So I started a new band, called it Obey The Brave, and here we are, and I'm happy I took that chance, because it wasn't necessarily a done deal.
So really the lyrical content is a celebration of you breaking through that transition point in your life, right?
Alex Erian: I wrote "It Starts Today", which was the first song we wrote together as Obey The Brave, and it was about me coming to that realization and me doing everything I could to get back at it again. No matter what the obstacles may be, this is what I'm going to be doing.
You've mentioned that you're not trying to "re-invent the wheel" musically. With that being said, what is the greatest thing about what you and your musical contemporaries are doing right now?
Alex Erian: When we started making music together as a band, we didn't think "Oh, we want to sound like this band, or play this type of music", we just simply started writing, whether it was music or lyrics, and it took a shape of it's own. And I believe that's the right way to go about it, not trying to jump on some bandwagon or anything, just writing something from the heart. "We're not trying to re-invent the wheel, we keep it simple, we keep it real", this is what's coming out of us, so this is what we're doing. We're just trying to please ourselves. We play music from the heart and do it for the right reasons; if people tag along, great...if not, so be it, I'm just trying to be happy in whatever creative outlet I have.
You know, I'm really curious as to how that Pantera cover came together. It threw some people for a loop, they really didn't see that coming.
Alex Erian: The response for that was all over the place, from people saying "This is AWESOME!" to people saying "Who the fuck are you to touch Pantera? They're untouchable! How dare you!". We're just paying homage to one of the bands that got us into this scene in the first place, we're just trying to make music and have fun, I can't stress how important that is. I purchased
Vulgar Display Of Power
back in 1992, I was 13 or 14 at the time and I had a few friends who were playing guitar that were into stuff like Megadeth, Sepultura, stuff like that. Pantera was that band that got me into metal, and got me into playing music; my friends were playing "A Mouth For War" or "A New Level" on guitar, and was like "Hey, I want to play music, I want to be in a band. Nobody is playing drums? I'm going to pick up a pair of sticks and play music with you guys". And then one thing led to another and I started playing more and more music, playing in different bands and going out to shows, and discovering new bands - the more extreme, the better. And here I am, 14-15 years later and I'm still just as passionate about it, if not more. Thanks to that band, I actually saw Down the other day, and here he is [
Phil Anselmo, lead vocalist, Pantera/Down
] on stage after all this time, so much respect. He has the same passion and energy, and it gives me butterflies, and the fact that it makes me feel this way is the reason why I'm still doing it, simple as that.
Can you describe the Montreal music scene? To me, the immediate bands I associate with Montreal would be bands like Despised Icon for one, then stuff like Blessed By A Broken Heart, etc. I keep hearing about Skip The Foreplay too.
Alex Erian: Brett Gurewitz LOVES
Skip The Foreplay
. During my two year hiatus, I actually helped those guys get a record deal and have booking/management stuff sorted out, etc. I support my friends no matter what, some people were like "What happened to you, man? You used to be a metalhead, and here you are encouraging these guys". It's not necessarily the stuff that I'd listen to, but they're down to earth and they're doing it the right way, and I'm proud of them. They did Warped Tour last summer, and they're doing a lot of things, so good for them.
As for the metal scene in Montreal, I feel as though it's an in-between zone right now. I am very nostalgic of those days where Despised Icon, Ion Dissonance, Beneath The Massacre, and Cataclysm were constantly on the road. These bands aren't really touring much anymore, still producing music in certain regard. I'm proud of them, I'm proud of my scene, and It's time for the younger people from Montreal to take the flame, it's their turn. There's a couple of younger bands out there that are good, there's this metalcore band called Beheading of A King who just dropped a new music video, they're pretty good, check them out. If you're into death metal, check out a band called Beyond Creation, they just got announced on some big tour, very happy for them. If you're into very traditional hardcore, then you need to check out the Lifers Crew, which consists of: Enforcers, Plus/Minus, Harriers and a bunch of other bands from Montreal. Hopefully shit pans out for the new bands, and I'm sure it will.
Touring, we have tours confirmed in 20 different countries right now. We're doing America/Canada right now with Emmure and Whitechapel and Unearth, and then after that we're doing Europe for close to 5 weeks, even doing Russia on that run, I'm very excited to get back out there. Aside from that, already writing; not because we feel obligated to, we're just excited about playing music and being in a band. We have these ideas, these words, we're just trying to put them into a song. Hopefully record this summer and release a year and half after Young Blood tops. We're working on Australia and Asia right now - if it happens, good. If not, it's all good.
What's the most important thing to know about your band?
Alex Erian: If you think about my band or any other band as a life lesson, it's about perseverance. I see people that want to tour and be in a band, but they just get discouraged. If you really want this, do anything you possibly can, knock on any door out there. If it's not working out with a set of people, move along and find people more aligned with what you want to do. Never ever stop. If I can do it, you can do it. We all start from scratch, I just wanted to tour.

Excellent Interview first of all. Alex is the man, one of the nicest dudes Ive ever met. Im from Montreal and my band is trying to establish our name in the metal and hardcore scene. Obey the Brave actually shared our song on their facebook and Alex always checks out our songs and gives feedback. If the hardcore scene had more people in it like Alex it would be a much better place aha

Research led by scientists at the UCSF-affiliated Gladstone Institutes has identified the precise chain of molecular events in the human body that drives the death of most of the immune system's CD4 T cells as an HIV infection leads to AIDS. Further, they have identified an existing anti-inflammatory drug that in laboratory tests blocks the death of these cells.

Found February 02, 2013 on The Nosebleeds:
PLAYERS: Rajon Rondo, Jeff Green, Jason Terry, Doc Rivers, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Gilbert Arenas, Tracy McGrady
TEAMS: Orlando Magic, Boston Celtics, Memphis Grizzlies, Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Clippers
TEAMS: Orlando Magic, Boston Celtics, Memphis Grizzlies, Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Clippers
Celtics 97, Magic 84 A Celtics team that is reeling from injuries was fortunate enough to match up against an Orlando Magic squad that came into Friday Night's game having lost 18 of their last 20. Boston (23-23) pulled away with a 14-4 run to begin the fourth quarter and ended up winning by double-digits for the second consecutive game. Inevitably, this will only fuel the fodder going around that the C's are somehow better without Rajon Rondo, since they are now 3-0 without their star point guard. During this stretch they've demonstrated great ball movement, and compiled 30 assists on 42 field goals in their victory over the Magic. Nine players scored in double-figures, including Jeff Green, Jason Terry, and Leandro Barbosa, who scored a combined 41 of the Celtics 43 bench points in this contest. The bench that was touted as the best in the NBA over the off season is finally producing at a high level, as shown by the +76 margin that Boston enjoyed while their reserves were on th...

Women were also a part of the racing scene. In 1904, the race was won by Elwood, the first winner owned by a women, Laska Durnell.
I was taught how to read a racing form at the ripe old age of 12 by a few World War II veterans. I actually became pretty good at handicapping and could predict which horses would hit the board (come in the money). By the time I was 15, I had a bookie's phone number and made an occasional bet during the summer. At the time, I think most everyone in the state of New Jersey and New York had a bookie's number in their back pocket.
By the time I was 20, I started following the track. I began my one year journey at Garden State, in New Jersey, went on to Hialeah Park Race Track and Tropical Park Race Track in Florida, headed north to Sportsman's Park in Chicago and wound up at Santa Anita and Hollywood Park in California.
I started with $800 in my pocket; had a great time, learned a lot about people, made great friends, picked up an odd job selling "tout sheets" at the track and ended up with $500 when I decided it was time to get a real job and settle down.
I moved to Reno in the late '60s. One of the first spots I hit was the Reno Turf Club. Talk about an eclectic clientele. It was a social melting pot comprised of doctors, lawyers and even an Indian Chief. Accountants, businessmen, politicians, school administrators, entertainers, rich and poor all seemed to gravitate to the Turf Club. Occasionally, Mustang Ranch brothel owner Joe Conforte or his bodyguard would make a wager on his prizefighter Oscar "Ringo" Bonavena.
Ringo was strong but he couldn't stop a bullet from a high powered rifle. Bonavena had an affair with Joe's wife, Sally. One night, he went to the ranch to see Sally. Security wouldn't let him through the gate. Supposedly, he attempted to get by the guards and Willard Brymer, Conforte's ex personal bodyguard, stepped in and shot Bonavena through the heart. Brymer was sentenced to only 15 months in prison for voluntary manslaughter.
Damon Runyon would have had a field day spinning his tongue-in-cheek stories of hustlers, gamblers and sometime gangsters from all walks of life frequenting the Turf Club. For years, before it closed, I always watched the Kentucky Derby from the bar there. Do I miss the good old days at the Turf Club? You bet.

Orienteering is an adventure sport for all ages. Races and training sessions take place every week in forests and parks around South Yorkshire and are open to anyone.
For more information on orienteering visit the British Orienteering Federation. Please feel free to come and try our events!
Interland 2014 29/30 March
SYO was well represented at this year's Interland with 6 runners all making the journey to northern France. 5 of us made the 3 hour journey down to the rendezvous together on Friday night; Charlie and Louise Adams, Lucy Wiegand, new member Sheila Sprott and of course myself, Michael Adams.
Interland is an annual competition between England and 4 other teams from Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands with competitors from M/W14 to M/W60.
Pre JK Training - Wednesday 2nd April
Wednesdays Pre JK training will take place at Sheffield Hallam's Collegiate campus. It will take the form of a short (10-20minute) sprint training followed by some classroom based Pre JK preparation. The Sprint training will start outside the Pearson Building (map here: https://www.shu.ac.uk/university/visit/find-us/plancollegiate.html) at 7.00pm and we will meet there at 7.50pm to walk over to the classroom together. If you wish to come to just one part that is fine.
Tuesday is Retro Day in The Star, and last Tuesday (25th March) they had got to O for Orienteering. They featured pictures from articles from the 1970's and 1980's, pictures of familiar Orienteers of the day (if you have my longevity) and the start of a prestigious event from that time.
SYO Champions
SYO members have had sucess at the recent YHOA Championships at Stoodley Pike and the YHOA middle distance Championships at Givendale.
At Stoodley Pike, there were just 2 YHOA champions, Louise Adams W16, and Gill Harrington W55.
At Givendale there were 6 champions, 4 from one family! These were Louise Adams, W16, Michael Adams, M18, Charlie Adams, M50 and Janet Adams W50. Also Euan Tryner M10 and Peter Gorvett M65.

Beryl and Guy
Long standing SYO members Beryl and Guy Seaman have now moved from Sheffield to their new house in Gairloch in the North West Scottish Highlands. Thanks to them for their help at many SYO events during their membership. They are now INVOC members and already involved with their new club, with Guy contemplating doing some mapping around Gairloch.

Top 50 Dad Blogs 2011
We've updated the list: To view 2012's Top 50 Dad Blogs, click here!
Why do a Top 50 Dad Blogs list now? Haven't dads been blogging just as long as moms? Do we really just like making these lists? Here's the truth: At Babble, we've been waiting for this moment for years. No, this is not the beginning of Dad blogging - far from it - but it is the first year in which Dad blogging is making it to the masses in a big way. Whether it's a single post that gets over 114,000 "likes" on Facebook or a riveting panel discussion at the Mom 2.0 Summit or the hilarious (but effective) #occupyBabble Twitter campaign, Dad bloggers are gaining more recognition with every passing month. In the process, they are also changing the way we think about fatherhood, parenthood, and exactly what is possible for men raising families.
So here they are, our first ever picks for the Top 50 Dad Blogs - from the well-designed to the most provocative, from the funniest to the most useful. We hope you'll find this listing most useful, and will discover (or rediscover) the great voices within its ranks.(View full list here.)
And one final note: We left group blogs off this list to make room for all the individuals (and one pair); stay tuned for our Top 10 Group Dad Blogs list, coming soon. - Greg Olear and the Dad blog panel: Catherine Connors, Brian Braiker, Cecily Kellogg, Brian Sargent, Laura Mayes, Jack Murnighan, and Danielle Wiley.

Fighting Monsters With Rubber Swords's Rankings
- #2 Best Written
- #3 Most Confessional
- #3 Most Groundbreaking
- #4 Most Useful
Rob Rummel-Hudson's daughter, Schuyler, suffers from a rare neurological condition called Bilateral Perisylvian Polymicrogyria and is unable to speak. His compelling and insightful blog, which began in February of 2006 tells their story.
An erstwhile freelance trombonist and music teacher, Rummel-Hudson has taken on the role of his daughter's advocate with grace and good humor that is nothing short of inspirational. Writing about Gemma Hayter, a developmentally disabled British woman in her twenties who was brutally murdered by people she thought were her friends, he makes a cogent point about societal influences on this sort of violence:
If you choose to look, to really see, you can follow the line from jokes about "retards" in film and television and the stages of comedy clubs to the young people repeating them on the schoolyards, and you can watch those kids grow into young adults and observe them as they live their lives without empathy or compassion for those who have never had value or humanity in their eyes.
Rummel-Hudson provides a voice for a daughter – and, by extension, a community – who literally have none. And he's a dad worth listening to.

How about us for 2013? http:www.funnybabyvids.com
There should be a dad blog about Dads dressing like their kids. I came across a kids clothing brand called Riot Kids on Instagram and it has stuff that I'd wear. Baby Gap is cool but i feel like all their is the same.
Relatively new on the scene with just about 7 months live, but definitely aiming to have The New American Dad on this list sooner rather than later! http://mark-mcnulty.blogspot.com
Another new one to consider….

Originally posted on Unlocking forum, but thought this one would be better, since it technically isn't anything to do with that.
I bought two UK 1.1.2 OTB iPhones.
I jailbroke both of them by using the downgrade to 1.1.1 then oktoprep then up to 1.1.2 then used the jailbreak 1.1.2 file.
The first phone i tried to upgrade to 1.1.2 when oktoprep wasn't installing from the server so had to use the oktoprep file using ssh with the commands to apply the file.
Everything worked fine until i tried to use EDGE with o2. I tried to enter the correct settings, but could not find any menu for it, it seems to have disappeared. Does anyone know why this has happened and how to fix it?
Though for the second phone, i used the oktoprep when it worked fine through installer.app and used jailbreak 1.1.2. I have noticed that this phone has the EDGE menu in the settings options.
Does anyone know any reason why one method would have EDGE menu and the other wouldn't?
Any help would be appreciated.

To the Campus Community:
I am pleased to report that the Rutgers Board of Governors has approved the development of a Writers House and an Alumni House on the Rutgers–Camden.
These projects, which were approved during the board's scheduled meeting at Rutgers–Camden on Friday, Dec. 14, represent significant growth for our campus. Both will serve as critical hubs of activity for our community, while enhancing our ever-growing ability to draw students and alumni to Rutgers–Camden and visitors to our host city.
The Writers House will be located at 305 Cooper Street, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The building will be renovated with great care to accentuate the striking elements crafted by its renowned architect, Wilson Eyre Jr. 305 Cooper Street is part of the cultural history of both our city and our region and, as such, it is most fitting that the renovated building will provide a physical focus for our new Writers House, which will build upon the strengths of our English faculty, our undergraduate and graduate programs in English, and our master of fine arts program in creative writing. The Writers House will help to attract students, guests, faculty, and top authors to our campus, and will serve as a home for the Department of English.
Similarly, 312 Cooper Street will be renovated to become a vibrant site for the Rutgers Alumni House, which will provide Rutgers graduates with a warm and welcoming center. The facility formerly served as the headquarters for the American Red Cross of Camden County, and it is entirely appropriate that these renovations will restore this important property to a life of service for our graduates and our community. Offices for the alumni relations and development staffs also will be located at this site.
The construction process will begin during the summer of 2013. The Alumni House is scheduled to open toward the middle of 2014, while the Writers House should be completed by July 2015. In both instances, we shall undertake renovations with the utmost respect for the historical significance of each building. Upon completion, Rutgers will have added two buildings to the growing vibrancy of our community.
These projects, combined with the opening of the student residential facility at 330 Cooper Street, send a clear signal of continued growth for Rutgers–Camden and the University District. I look forward to working with you to sustain this momentum.

Joe, that's probably pine with a mahogany/dark cherry or walnut stain. One of the pics you put on twitter looked more walnut like.
Ya, the top looks different than the sides, but I imagine it's just from more stain penetration. From what I've seen walnut is decently knot free. The top has more pine-ish looking knots. If this is even a thing.
Oh, no, I think it's quite likely that it's pine. I meant that it was a walnut or mahogany/dark cherry (colored) stain over pine.


text: We saw some parts of Southeast Louisiana filled with swarming termites the last couple of nights. People complained about the pests in their hair and even flying into their mouths. Experts say if you want the flying bugs to stay away from you home, turn off the lights or get the right bulbs. "If you get yellow lights or amber lights, that's going to greatly reduce their attraction to the light," advised Dr. Dennis Ring at the LSU AgCenter. He says if you find a few termites walking or flying in your home, that's normal. "They're going to die... in most cases they've got to have soil contact," Ring explained. "It's very unsettling, but those are going to die." But if there are huge numbers of them inside, that should be cause for taking action. "If you have hundreds or even thousands of swarmers in your structure, that strongly suggest that your house is already infested and you need to get someone out there." The entomologist says the reason that the termites are swarming is that they are looking for new spots in the ground to establish a colony. "That's part of their ecology to try and start new colonies. Everyone should be sure that their structure is treated... they are very destructive," Dr. Ring insisted. "The ones that land and start a new colony and eventually try to enter the structure, that's the ones to be concerned about." He says the major swarms generally run from May through July, "off and on."

Get a taste of spring with bubble teasFARGO – As winter stretches on interminably, many of us are left grasping for a sign – any sign – of spring.
FARGO – As winter stretches on interminably, many of us are left grasping for a sign – any sign – of spring.
While the temps outside may not be warming up in a hurry, you can at least fool your taste buds into forgetting about winter with the help of a cool, refreshing beverage like bubble tea.
A sweet, flavorful drink imported from Taiwan, bubble tea's name is a little misleading – it's not the basic kind of tea you might expect.
It's available at Teaberry, 119 Broadway, Fargo, and also at Passion Twist in the West Acres Shopping Center, but only Friday through Sunday at the latter establishment.
At Teaberry, bubble tea, also known as boba tea, is made with powder flavoring, nondairy creamer, crushed ice, raw sugar and fresh fruit.
Trung Nguyen, who owns Teaberry with his wife, calls the drink "a nice healthy smoothie."
Bubble teas are much more popular on the west and east coasts than the Midwest, Nguyen says. He grew up in Seattle, which is where he gained experience with the drink.
There's a wide variety and combination of bubble tea flavors available at Teaberry, but Nguyen says customer favorites are avocado-banana, watermelon-strawberry and chocolate-strawberry-banana.
"Those are all very flavorful," he says.
And then there are the pearls – curiously textured gelatinous orbs made of tapioca that can be added to the beverage for an enhanced experience.
Another possible addition is jellies – small, fruit-flavored rectangles. The jellies are made of seaweed extract, which Nguyen says allows people of varying diets to be able to enjoy the drink.
"People really enjoy the jellies and pearls," he says. "They're just fun treats, and they're the reason we use the large straws and why the drinks stand out."
The jellies and pearls are worth a try, though on first taste the textures admittedly might throw some people off.
But with or without the jelly and pearl additions, bubble teas are definitely a sweet, refreshing drink that'll make your taste buds think of spring, even if spring is taking its time getting here.

As of Monday, December 31, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
ATLANTA — Chandler Catanzaro kicked a 37-yard field goal as time expired to give No. 14 Clemson a wild 25-24 win over No. 9 Louisiana State in the Chick-fil-A Bowl on Monday night.
Trailing 24-22, Clemson (11-2) took possession on its 20 with 1:39 remaining. Tajh Boyd completed a pass for 26 yards to DeAndre Hopkins on a fourth-and-16 play during the decisive 10-play drive.
Catanzaro's kick set off a wild celebration on the field and in the stands. Some players collapsed on the field in apparent disbelief while most of Clemson's orange jerseys met in a midfield circle.
Hopkins, who had 13 catches for 191 yards and two touchdowns, also had receptions for 7 and 13 yards in the final drive. LSU safety Greg Reid was flagged for pass interference while defending Hopkins.
Jeremy Hill ran for 124 yards and two touchdowns for LSU (10-3), which carried a 24-13 lead into the final quarter.
Boyd completed 36 of 50 passes for 346 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. He set career highs for attempts and completions while winning the game MVP award.
LSU scored 10 points off Clemson's two lost fumbles, including one by Sammy Watkins on the second play of the game that set up Hill's first touchdown.
Hopkins scored on an 11-yard reception in the second quarter and a 12-yard grab in the fourth. LSU's Bennie Logan blocked Catanzaro's extra point attempt following Hopkins' first touchdown.

Thanks again for the text. Given it's length, I will just reply rather than include your full text.
Experiencally, "emptiness" is different (and simpler) than your above text. A possible way to think about it is that everything that "exists" is made of energy. The chair that you sit on is just energy particles in vibration. The "mind" defines it as a chair. Clear the obstructions of the "mind" and you can "notice" it. Percieve "deeper" and one realizes that "energy" is not really separate, but the localized motion (or change of state) of the base stuff (for simplicity I call it raw awareness - so that people don't confuse it with the perception awareness). So, if you can percieve deep enough, there is really nothing there.
Consciousness arises (bubbles up) from raw awareness (or is awareness in motion). The "base" level is nothing (or void), but in it is the potential for consciousness.
I'm going to be blunt, but only because I think one should be honest to themselves about their level of insight. That way instead of getting stuck because of pride, an individual will be able to asses where they actually are, to keep themselves honest and to make further progress.
You do not have insight into anatta or dependent origination/emptiness. What you are describing is akin to Hinduism (specifically Advaita Vedanta.)
I thought we were just having a good discussion on perspectives, but I have obviously irritated you somehow. I am sorry to have caused you any concern.
Enjoy your weekend.
I'm not irritated at all. I'm completely free of any concerns. Though how about you?
Enjoy your weekend also

Q: Does geology support a global Flood?
A: When the Bible refers to a worldwide Flood in Genesis 7–8, that's exactly what it means. Not local, not metaphorical, not some crazy dream—the waters covered the whole earth. Don't just take our word for it, though. Take a look at the evidence right beneath your feet.
Evidence 1: Fossils of sea creatures high above sea level due to the ocean waters having flooded over the continents
We find fossils of sea creatures in rock layers that cover all the continents. For example, most of the rock layers in the walls of Grand Canyon (more than a mile above sea level) contain marine fossils. Fossilized shellfish are even found in the Himalayas.
Evidence 2: Rapid burial of plants and animals
We find extensive fossil "graveyards" and exquisitely preserved fossils. For example, billions of nautiloid fossils are found in a layer within the Redwall Limestone of Grand Canyon. This layer was deposited catastrophically by a massive flow of sediment (mostly lime sand). The chalk and coal beds of Europe and the United States, and the fish, ichthyosaurs, insects, and other fossils all around the world, testify of catastrophic destruction and burial.
Evidence 3: Rapidly deposited sediment layers spread across vast areas
We find rock layers that can be traced all the way across continents—even between continents—and physical features in those strata indicate they were deposited rapidly. For example, the Tapeats Sandstone and Redwall Limestone of Grand Canyon can be traced across the entire United States, up into Canada, and even across the Atlantic Ocean to England. The chalk beds of England (the white cliffs of Dover) can be traced across Europe into the Middle East and are also found in the Midwest of the United States and in Western Australia. Inclined (sloping) layers within the Coconino Sandstone of Grand Canyon are testimony to 10,000 cubic miles of sand being deposited by huge water currents within days.
Continue reading about these and three other major points of evidence for the global Flood in Worldwide Flood, Worldwide Evidence, our latest campaign. We also encourage you to use the "ShareThis" feature on the website (right above the campaign banner) to spread the word: that the Bible's history is true and scientifically supportable.

Fantasy Impact: The Carolina Hurricanes have fired their head coach Paul Maurice and have replaced him with former NHLer Kirk Muller, who was coaching the AHL's Milwaukee Admirals.
Maurice's style: Like Bruce Boudreau, Maurice is a player's coach. As with most player's coaches, his impact has a positive effect on a team for about two years, but the impact fades. It almost seems like the ideal coaching cycle for a team is "Disciplinarian Coach" for two years then "Player's Coach" for two years. Both styles seem to lose the dressing room after that timeframe.
Muller's style: A former assistant coach of the Habs, Muller learned under defensive coaches. He then coached Milwaukee for 17 games and the team sits 21st in goals per game with 2.7. That's in a tight Nashville system. Not very promising in terms of long-term fantasy outlook.
The impact on key players
Eric Staal - For the short term, this will really turn things around for him. Any coaching change would have. But in the long term, I think numbers such as "85 points" is out of reach. Not under an expected defensive system.
Cam Ward - Wins big here. The team will perform better and they'll do it by limiting chances. Ward is going to flourish both short and long term.
Jeff Skinner - His upward trajectory will continue but, much like with Staal, Skinner's ceiling gets lowered just a little.
Zac Dalpe, Zach Boychuk, Drayson Bowman - When these three get recalled (not at the same time, I mean one by one!) they should see 10 or 12 minutes instead of a ridiculous three or four. That can only help their odds of sticking in the lineup.
Joni Pitkanen, Jamie McBain, Tomas Kaberle - Kaberle gets new life, which will hurt McBain. Muller is leaving a team that had Ryan Ellis, so he has some experience using a top puck-mover to create offense. These three are better than they have shown.
Jiri Tlusty - A Paul Maurice favorite, he will be on a very short leash under a new coach. Produce quickly or get banished from the league, bottom line.
Jussi Jokinen - He played his best years under Maurice. I question his ability to perform that well under another coach and as a Jokinen owner (in one league) I am a little worried.
Tuomo Ruutu - Offensively speaking, he is a better player than he has shown under Maurice. A new coach or a change of scenery would have been good for him - and he has just been blessed with the former.
Chad Larose - When a player is playing over his head, as Larose is given his 48-point pace, the last thing he needs is for someone to rock the boat. A new coach changes everything.

Jay played a year with the Toronto Marlies and was the main call up and 7th man alot for Paul Maurice when he had control of the Leafs. When Paul left Jay had little opertunity in Toronto and actually left for europe then came back, just to prove he had talents that were useful in the NHL.
Jay jumped into Carolina as the 7th/8th man and bumped his way into being a stable top 6... Back under Maurice you have seen him peak into being a steady 2 way D man that is getting the minutes in a top pair.
Hopefully Jay makes his own bed with continued strong play under Muller, but the minutes will no longer be handed to him... and with him currently day to day/out of the lineup, it puts him a step behind everyone else in proving his usefulness in the lineup and ability to sustain a top end role.
Anyone who has picked him up in a DEEP lg beware... he may fall back into an un notable role. Especially if Kaberle gets his game back as dobber mentioned above, McBain is the PP loser Harrison will be the even strength loser unless the use Jay to compliment Tomas.

Pacsafe Slingsafe 300 GII Backpack 11 11
Slingsafe Backpack What an excellent backpack. This item is a bit pricey but well worth it. It is light weight, holds a bunch of stuff, and travels with ease. If you are looking for a great backpack, this is it. Now my wife wants one too! Suggestion; offer more colors, only comes in green or black. April 14, 2014
Excellent safe guard for our trip valuables We are very pleased with our purchase. It is just the right size for a personal carry on for the plane and just the right size for holding what we need when we are traveling this fall. We love the safety features especially because we have been warned about pick pockets in Europe. April 9, 2014
Good bag to travel in peace. Just came back from a trip to Europe and use the bag everyday. Was my only bag for three weeks. Used the bag in airports, subways ,buses and crowded places. I travelled in peace knowing that the bag had all the safety features and especially the tamperproof zippers. May be a little bit small if you are carrying things for more than one person or need to carry bulky clothes. Would like to see a bigger handle to pick up or carry the bag. My only negative comment The backpack gets very hot on your back and makes your back sweaty after a while forcing you to carry it on your shoulder. Not enough air circulation and fabric does not breath well. May 28, 2012
Great purchase for safe travel I liked this bag enough that I bought a second one for my husband. It is SMALL, not for clothes and weekend trips. However, that being said, it was a great bag to use instead of a purse for overseas travel. We have used it in Turkey, Peru, Israel and Jordan. We used one bag for camera lenses and a second bag for snacks, a second camera, medicines, etc. It IS NOT WATERPROOF! EVERYTHING IN THE LARGE POCKET GOT WET IN THE LARGE BAG WHEN WE WERE WALKING THROUGH THE RAIN FOREST IN PERU. I only wish they would make this bag in a slightly larger size. We washed them both in the washing machine after each trip, but did not put them in the dryer. Just like new every time! October 19, 2013
NOT WATERPROOF This bag is light, has many safety features, and is handy on a trip. HOWEVER, it is NOT waterproof! We just returned from a rainy walk and all of the items in the large section were drenched. Yes, we had it thoroughly zipped. So I recommend it with this big caveat. September 28, 2012
Love my Slingsafe Backpack The size and material were perfect for day trips in Europe. I liked the rather slick material as it was easy to get on and off over a coat. Contents stayed dry even in a good rain. Looks dressy, too. June 14, 2012
Great purchase This day backpack is perfect for traveling: use it as your "purse" when flying. once arrived at your destination, it will carry all you might need for a day of sightseeing, in a city or a national park. I never wanted to use a backpack because I had no idea what was happening behind my back, but I feel absolutely safe going thru crowds with this one. The RFID pocket is a nice extra too and it is roomy enough for more than 1 passport and a small case for your credit cards etc. September 8, 2013
Great bag, awful straps I used this bag as a purse on a ten day trip around Poland. Though it is the perfect size and the safety features are great, the shoulder straps are too thin for carrying a full load (2 waters, 2 umbrellas, purse items) comfortably. They dig into your shoulders and leave you feeling fatigued. A wide strap with more padding would make this bag perfect for me. NOTE: I have tendonitis in both shoulders, so I am a little more sensitive than most. But I wanted to write the review for others who have shoulder problems. March 9, 2013
